Default master warning light

I have GS430, master warning light (triangle shape red light)turned on during the highway driving. Does it means serious engine problems ?

It depends. Normally the CEL would be on as well. What does the display say when the red triangle shows up? Oil Change, door open, etc. Get the codes read if nothing shows up in the display.

I have mine on but the display says "Low Washer Fluid" so it doesn't have to be a serious problem to cause the light to be on.

I've always found it hilarious that low washer fluid trips the warning triangle, but having almost no gas only triggers a small orange light.
